Apologia pro vita mea... or where I have been of late

Apologies for the sparse posting of late on this space. Lest you think I will be 'fessing up to the sin of Sloth at my next confession, let me fill you in on where I have been investing my energy. Possibly this is more information than you wanted, but I feel I owe my "regular" readers a bit of an explanation.

August to November is the busy time in our office - lots of training events and gatherings for catechists and parish catechetical leaders. I love it but it pretty much saps my energy.

October-November I facilitated an online class - which pretty much occupies my evenings after parish meetings and rehearsals.

Just before Christmas, I researched and wrote an article "Mystagogy on the Mass: If We Teach Them They Will Come", which has just been published in the March/April issue of Pastoral Liturgy magazine(possibly available on their website soon)

Then there were the holidays...

Then the flu...

For the past 5 weeks, I have been facilitating two rather involved online courses for the VLCFF

Conversion. Heart of our worship.

"The Sacred Liturgy does not exhaust the entire activity of the Church. Before men can come to the Liturgy they must be called to faith and to conversion..." (Sacrosanctum Concilium 8) "Liturgical Catechesis" is what we learn in preparing, celebrating and reflecting on the liturgy, the culture of those who celebrate, and implications for life.

About Me

Welcome! This is a place where you might find something a little liturgical, a little catechetical, or both. I also am fascinated by the cultural implications of both. As Catechetical Associate in the Diocese of Joliet Religious Education Office, I support and resource leaders for Child, Intergenerational and Adult Catechesis, as well as Liturgical Catechesis, Catechumenate Formation, Special Needs, and more. Yep, I was an English major and it sometimes will show! I have an MA in English and a Masters in Pastoral Studies (Emphasis in Liturgy). I have served in diocesan and parish ministry since 1987 and volunteer in my parish in music, liturgy and catechesis.
